- Token prefix queries: use the asterisk ('*') at the end. Similar to but not same as the wildcard character in operating systems (normal wildcard search not currently supported by FTS)
- Example: Tai*oa*
- Specify a column-name followed by a colon (':')
- Example: thj:頭* (you should see all DFT entries starting with this Harnji)
